This episode, our panel looks at the US elections following the much-awaited TV debate between the two presidential candidates on September 10. We deliberate whether Vice President Kamala Harris can sustain the positive momentum of the first weeks after her nomination or whether President Donald Trump will regain the upper hand in a topsy-turvy race. According to many observers, European policymakers will need to prepare for Washington to shift its focus from Europe to Asia regardless of who takes the White House. Thus, our experts also assess the impact of these elections on transatlantic relations.
